FoodBuzz Fest 2010

I really wanted a Korean taco from Namu followed by a couple of Mission Minis cupcakes for lunch. I wanted to wander around San Francisco with fabulous food blogger friends. Oh, and I wanted companies to give me fabulous kitchen gadgets to try. Instead, I had a styrofoam cup filled with ramen that was in solid form only minutes before I microwaved the heck out of it. A client absentmindedly put my favorite pen in her mouth. And the final kick in the 'nards? I found out the coffeemaker at work is broken! Needless to say, it's tough to go back to work on Monday morning when you've spent the weekend at the food blogger paradise known as Foodbuzz Fest.

So what did I take away from an amazing weekend of eating, meeting n' greeting, eating, learning, eating, hugging, and well, more eating?

I am trying not to be jealous:) Judging by the reports on various blogs, it seems that the get-together went extremely well. It would be wonderful to meet virtual friends for real, and I can almost feel your excitement.

After reading all of the posts from you lucky people who went, I have informed my family that I am attending next year by hook or by crook and that they had better plan to fend for themselves next November. I can talk tough this far out, but I am determined!

What a wonderful tribute to the Festival!! You have so many grat images, thank you so much for sharing them! It was such a joy to meet you after all of this time, It will make reading your posts extra special now!Cheers my friend!Dennis

i can't say this enough, i'm so jealous of everyone who got to attend this fabulous festival. being only 5 feet, i know how you feel around extra tall people. if i'm lucky enough to go next year, can i hang out with you? teehee. you are so adorable. glad you had a fabulous time, Azmina. thanks for sharing your memories.

It was so, so wonderful to meet you!! I really do wish we could have spent more time chatting and hope to see you again some time soon. Without a doubt, you're one of my very favorite food bloggers!! :)

Whoa, the guy is TALL!!! But then, you are pretty dainty and petite! I didn't know how tiny you are, because you're so big in personality! I'm glad I at least got the chance to say hi to you, although the time was brief. Hopefully we get to talk more next time! :-)

Really cute post. I read every word (and I can't say that's true for some of the posts about foodbuzz fest). Hello-- Why did I miss that first lunch with all those people I wanted to meet? I missed a few people entirely. Argh. It's interesting to see people's swag bags because I think there were some different things... I think I ate 6 cupcakes. Did they really expect me to pick?
